twitter api limits us to your history, we could resort to scraping perhaps?
That's what I figured. Scraping might violate the TOS and would require an actual search bot/crawler/parser as opposed to simple API access. I was more complaining about the limits of Twitter in general; I think this is a huge step in the right direction, kudos.

If an orgasnisation publishes stuff on web pages, they can hardly object if others choose to access that data!
